Yes. This is an area that's not been discussed all that much here. Or
has it? From an MoQ perspective an individual is an amalgam of organic,
biological, social and intellectual elements all affected by an all-pervading
force called dynamic quality. Correct?
I believe from Keating's perspective an individual is a person whose identity
is established by their relationship with the Other.

Please elaborate. What happened to Mom and the kids?

I believe Keating is saying that the Other (capital O) is God, the source of
everything. One fails to become the Other in the same sense that one can
not become the source of everything.

A road map of morality.
